News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

hi everyone,

I would like to know what's worth for the set of 9 solid number notes;
1973 Bank of Canada $1 note serial number from 1111111 to 9999999
in UNC condition, prefix is not the same.

PLMK on the price range for single notes up to the whole set,

thanks for your time and effort 

Condition is everything. I have seen them sell or the asking price, from $2,000 to $5,000 per set. Condition is very important. that's my opinion.  TOMMYBOY

 There is a set on ebay now starting at $8,400 but no bidders.

thanks very much for your information, I'm sure condition is everything
and the set will be in UNC condition as well,

BTW how come your set price is a lot lower than the price listed in the Catalogue!

that's a nice set with everything graded but I think the price is
way too high, what do you think!

BTW, what kind of price would you guys suggest to buy a set like this?
thanks

Assuming the entire set is uncirculated, probably about $5,000.

ya right...I'd like to see anyone offer a 9 piece set for $2000-$5000.
solids have been going for $1000 each.
solids 8's usually get more, and so should the 9's.

Solids if any description have been selling at auction in the minimum $1200 each range for a couple years now. Higher graded notes are going for more, and matched sets also command a premium. This set may be near the top of the range for 1973 notes of the kind but is not overpriced for the set....

thanks very much and I'll use this as a guideline on the similar set

you are right on the premium for the solid 8's
so if those solids are going for like $1k each then the
full set of 9 should be at least $9k then so for something like
$2000-$5000 will be a steal or good to grab

so in your opinion the solid set of 9 would be like $10k instead and
this price is still not overpriced!

I think that if you start selling things in bulk, then not as many people can afford to purchase them, which is why I gave a more conservative estimate of $5,000.

you're right with that, selling them in singles can have a
higher average price than selling them together as a set !

True, bulk lots are quite often discounted or a package deal.

A set of solids  isn't quite the same category, in fact they may be regarded as a premium as complete sets are quite a bit scarcer than single notes.

that's quite true, in fact to have a full set definitely is harder than any single note!

Why is this?

Why should I add a premium to buy a set of solid notes?

I've never understood that.  I could understand it if the set had matching prefixes (for example, all notes prefix A/A, which would make it extremely hard to compile), or it was like #1 - #10 in a series (which is hard to find).

I don't see why I should pay more for a set, than if I just bought each note individually and compiled my own set myself.  It's not like sets are rare or hard to get; I see at least 2 solid numbered sets at every coin show I've been to, so I don't see any reason to pay more than each note would be worth individually.

Can someone explain?

Well maybe it would be better stated that no seller would discount a complete set much from the individual price. And to break it up would seem offensive to some.
